Reports emanating from Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, has it that Attah, who was the state governor from 1999 to 2007, dumped the party at a rally of the APC in March.
Attah, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, was sited at the rally with another member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Obong Don Etiebet, and other chieftains of the APC in Akwa Ibom State.
They reportedly moved with over 50,000 of their supporters to the APC.
The rally was organised in furtherance of the campaign of the Akwa Ibom State governorship aspirant of the APC, Umana Okon Umana.
However, the Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 31 local government areas of Akwa Ibom State have disassociated themselves from last week’s visit by a group led by the former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah, to the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
They said the group purporting to represent the Akwa Ibom chapter of the APC was actually a visit of stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).The Victor Attah-led delegation visited Buhari last Friday, May 8 2015.
However, the chapter chairmen in a statement made available to journalists yesterday said “the PDP delegation led by former state governor and proud life member of the PDP Board of trustees, Obong Victor Attah, masqueraded itself as that of the stakeholders of the APC in Akwa Ibom State, to confuse and mislead the president-elect, adding that the state chapter of the party was at the verge of a courtesy visit to Buhari.”
“It would have been more dignifying of the Obong Victor Attah-led team to have correctly informed Nigerians that a delegation of the Akwa Ibom State PDP leaders were on a visit to the President-elect and was gladly welcomed by the fatherly favour of the President-elect, whose policy is to be available to every Nigerian or group no matter how treacherous, altruistic or disguised they might be.
